Personality Characteristics With Dealing With Grief Attachment theory has suggested that the nature of one’s earliest attachments (typically with parents) predicts how one would react to loss. Bereaved persons with secure attachment styles would be least likely to experience complicated grief, while those with either insecure styles or anxious-ambivalent styles would be most likely to experience negative outcomes. In a study of 59 caregivers of terminally ill spouses, the nature of their attachment styles and marital quality were evaluated. Results showed that caregivers with insecure attachment styles or in marriages that were “security increasing” were more likely to experience symptoms of complicated grief. Persons with a tendency toward “ruminative coping,” a pattern of exces- sively focusing on one’s symptoms of distress, have also been shown to experience extended depression after a loss. Personal: Religious Beliefs Theory has proposed that strong religious beliefs and participation in religious activities could provide a buffer to the distress of loss, via two different mechanisms: • A belief system that helps one cope with death. • A network of social support that comes with religious participation. However, empirical results about the benefits of religion in coping with death tend to be mixed, some showing positive benefit and others showing no benefit or even greater distress among the religious. Studies that show a positive benefit of religion tend to measure religious participation as regular church attendance and find that the benefit of participation tends to be associated with an increased level of social support.
